Adopt Bells Angel a White Domestic Shorthair cat in Philadelphia, PA (41018463)

Location:

Philadelphia, PA

Description:

**$145 in pledges for the rescue that pulls** Bells Angel was surrendered to ACCT when his owner no longer wanted him. This guy hasn't had an easy time adjusting to the shelter, and he did not allow any handling upon arrival. Since then, our staff has made it a point to win him over, as has been documenting the journey regularly: 3/22 Cat was on the uncovered side of the kennel this morning, growling and hissing continuously and attempting to swat at anything that moved. 3/29 So much progress! Gave slow blinks along with lip licks. Let the ACA clean his kennel without fighting with her AND let her pet him (with the bite gloves on). Even leaned in to solicit a few times. 4/5 Bells Angel was actually soliciting attention this morning! He was rubbing against the kennel, so I threw on some gloves to give him some love. Leaned heavily into the head petting, although he did rumble a bit when I had to close the kennel door on him. So proud of him! Bells is the kind of cat that will accept affection as he pleases, but it tends not to be a moment more. While he has made great progress with us, it's easy to tell he's frustrated in his kennel, and would much prefer the space of a home. His previous owners described him as being very active, and having a lot of energy, and he is becoming increasingly stressed in his kennel, particularly when it comes time to clean it. Bells would do best in a home that can provide him adequate decompression time, someone who understands his indicators, and does not push him for affection.
